I've managed to pick up some sort of eye infection in my left eye and can't sew for long stretches of time so feeling a bit grumpy and out of sorts.
However, before the nasty germ decided to stay at our house, The Old One and I had a "qulting day". Yup. I finally let him handle fabric and make a few decisions!
To be honest, I was struggling and needed some help so The Old One was allowed to choose fabrics from the solids bin and act as adviser.
The back of my Liberated Amish quilt - a husband and wife effort!
with a very proud husband holding it up
(and getting arm ache)
It needs another border - about 4 or 5 inches - round the outside and then we are ready to baste and quilt. Woo hoo!
Happy Easter everyone. I know quilters love chocolate, but don't overdo it!
Clare, I hope that your eye feel better in few days.
ReplyDeleteBUONA PASQUA (HAPPY EASTER) to you and to your family.
ciao ciao
I hope your eye feels better soon. The back is just as interesting as the front, as a quilt should be.
ReplyDeletegreat team effort-love it..golden seal herb is excellent for eye wash - email me for more info...
ReplyDeleteHe deserves to be proud. Proud that you asked him, proud that he was a big help, and proud he can even hold up a quilt on a fairly good level of straightness!
ReplyDeleteIf I asked my DH for help, he'd know I finally fell over the edge of my last slevage. He's legally color blind. Sometimes I wonder how he survives with such a crucial gene missing ;)
As for getting the nasty...we've all had discolored eyes at one time or another and weeped and peeped and stuck our lids together, too!
Sending good wishes for a two eyed day, tomorrow!!
OH! That's a TOTALLY awesome back!!!!!
That is what I would say is a truly liberated quilt - you always seem to get there Claire. Fantastic. Little nod and wink also to your other half. Hope your eye problem is under control.
